Israel

“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on social media platform X.

Iran

The livelihoods of Iranians will not be affected by the US election, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Tehran.

“The US elections are not really our business. Our policies are steady and don’t change based on individuals. We made the necessary predictions before and there will not be change in people’s livelihoods,” she said.

Hamas

Trump’s victory puts to test his earlier statements that he can stop the war in Gaza within hours, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the Reuters news agency. The Democratic party’s loss is the natural price for its leadership’s “criminal stance” towards Gaza, Abu Zuhri said, adding that “we urge Trump to learn from [US President Joe] Biden’s mistakes.”

China

“Our policy towards the US is consistent,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a news briefing.
“We will continue to view and handle China-US relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation,” she added.

Ukraine

“I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.

United Kingdom

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “Congratulations President-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead. As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.”

NATO

Secretary-General Mark Rutte: “I just congratulated Donald Trump on his election as President of the United States. His leadership will again be key to keeping our Alliance strong. I look forward to working with him again to advance peace through strength through NATO.”

European Union

“The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “So let’s work together on a strong transatlantic agenda that keeps delivering for them.”

India

Congratulating Trump on a “historic election victory”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X that “as you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.”

Russia

“Trump has one useful quality for us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and stupid hanger-on allies, on bad charity projects and on voracious international organisations,” former President Dmitry Medvedev posted on the Telegram messaging app.

I wouldn't say all of them. This is a great day for Putin and Netanyahu.

At a certain point I have to admit that I'm the asshole here for continuing to be on the side of Team Humanity.

Zelenskyy will say whatever he needs to in order to try to retain as much US support as possible.

Not likely to work, but it's a pragmatic take. If someone is threatening to cut off your support, don't threaten them back, otherwise it's a done deal.

I am Brazilian and I react to this by saying: "You, United-Statesians mess up, then the shit goes to the sewer and fall on us."

So in other words, a Trump win makes things even worse for Gaza. Where have I heard that before?? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Biden was already genociding them. Before you blame Trump, don't forget Biden could have stopped it at any time and chose not to.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Maybe the Dems could have differentiated themselves on policy towards Israel. Rather than supporting a genocidal regime that clearly wanted them to lose.

Yeah, that's not gonna go the way you think it is....
If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up....

The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the "unclean" have been erased.
